They are baked fresh daily and include snickerdoodle, birthday cake, chocolate chip, Cookie Monster, ect. Ice cream flavors are mostly cookie and chocolate-based, with a few fruit options (strawberry shortcake or blueberry crumble). One could also order a brownie bottom sundae (brownie baked in a foil round container) and topped with choice of ice cream flavor(s). Portions are huge and can feed 2 or 3 people. This time just had a scoop of strawberry shortcake flavored ice cream in a waffle cone. So satisfying and creamy, and not too sweet. There are a few a spaces for inside seating and more tables outdoors during better weather.

Phenomenal and incredibly fresh -- a true little taste of Italy in Miami! After my favorite French…read morebakery closed post-pandemic, I was thrilled to discover Rosetta during a recent visit. This charming Italian café serves house-made desserts, savory pizzas and sandwiches, and authentic, perfectly brewed coffee. They bake throughout the day, and you can even watch trays of fresh goods come straight from the forno. The pizzas are drizzled with rich extra virgin olive oil and topped with vibrant, fresh ingredients -- simple and delicious. Friendly (and good-looking) staff, great music, and seating inside and on the patio create that lively neighborhood café feel. I ended up going back every single day of my stay. Bellissimo!

I can't resist Salt & Straw, and I was excited to find one in Miami near my hotel. Unlike the other…read moreSalt & Straw shops I've visited in other cities, there was no line to order (!). Even better, the timing of my visit lined up with Salt & Straw's cereal flavor series, meaning that they were scooping one of my favorites, Pots of Gold and Rainbows. I also noticed a few flavors that sounded like local specialties, including coffee tres leches and cheese guava. Since the shop was empty, it took several attempts to catch someone's attention when I was ready to order. Once I was being helped, I sampled a couple of flavors and decided that I couldn't go wrong with a scoop of Pots of Gold and Rainbows in a waffle cone. There wasn't any seating indoors or outdoors, but the shop is located along a shopping promenade, so I took my ice cream to go and enjoyed it on my stroll.

The manager that day was super nice and attentive to us. He allowed us to try different flavors and recommended two of his own. The store itself is extremely clean and organized. There is not a lot of clutter and there are plenty of spoons and napkins around. The floors and windows were all very clean and without any defects. I truly appreciated the quickness and hospitality that the manager gave us that day. The three of us left extremely pleased with our experience and can't thank this Salt and Straw team/management enough!

Paya may very well offer the best value in fine dining in Miami; the $75 tasting menu offers 10…read morecourses that will fill even the most voracious of appetites and in a way that would make even the most stringent foodies weep at the flavors and presentations. The staff is beyond friendly and attentive, often stopping by and not only checking on you but also to simply converse about your meal, opinions on the food, or chat about whatever you want to bring up. That is a level of personalness that just doesn't exist in most restaurants or even the service industry. The decor is soft and inviting; intimate; it has a soft, yellow lighting and the rest of the environment is meant to contrast the lighting. It's a nod to not only the owners' backgrounds and roots, but also to the old school fine dining environments. It set the stage perfectly for what was to come. The tasting menu is 10 dishes and is served in 4 courses (apps, small plates, entrees, dessert), served in a 3 plate course until dessert which is 1 dish. Each dish is unique in its own right, yet contrasts from the others so you don't get fatigue from a single flavor or style. For example, the app course that I had was a wahoo ceviche, a shrimp and green papaya salad, and an endive and sharp cheese salad (served in wrapped endive leaves). They all worked together, but offered vastly different textures and contrasting flavors while feeling like an orchestra working together in your mouth. This experience continued through the entrees and I cannot opine on the dessert (rum cake) because I took it to go because I was so full... which has never happened to me in a tasting menu before. Paya is not only worth consideration in a saturated market of fine dining in Miami, it is one that should be prioritized and experienced as an indulgence of senses and flavors. While it may seem expensive in a vacuum, it is 33-50% cheaper than a slew of other tasting menus in the city and offers more courses for that cheaper price.

After his stint with Mamey, I became a fan of chef Niven Patel. He is also known for the popular…read moreGhee. I like that many of his ingredients are sourced locally at his farm where he trains his team on food quality. I think it does add something extra to the dishes. This is his new elevated Caribbean fusion cuisine, which I was excited to try and didn't disappoint. I went for the miami spice and ordered a few extra apps. Dim lit interior. Nice music soundtrack. Amazing menu. I enjoyed the roti starter as well as the scallop dish which had great presentation and flavors. The papaya salad was also a hit. For the miami spice starter I tried the ceviche which has great presentation and quite flavorful. As for the main, I got the fish in curry which was a table favorite! The rum cake was his signature dessert like in Mamey... however, unlike Mamey they didn't pour the sauce at the table and mine felt a little lacking something. I think the table pour was nicer and had a little more generous pour. Overall I'd recommend and return.

The service is incredibly friendly and genuinely hospitable. The lady working there went above and beyond. We got a variety box of baklava. Once I got home and tried everything... wow. Every single piece was delicious. So many flavors, so many varieties, and none of them overly sweet. You can really taste the high‑quality ingredients in every bite. Plus, everything looks absolutely adorable. They also offer fun new flavors that keep things exciting, and the whole place has such a charming, cozy vibe. The baked goods are exceptional, and the people are just as wonderful--kind, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do.

Some of the pieces are totally worth it while others are a bit common. Berry Nut Lokum: Wow, this was pretty amazing. It was just the perfect mix of textures and flavors. It starts with tangy dried berries on the outside. Then a chewy sweet nougat layer. Then the center is like squishy Turkish delight filled with nuts and berries. Excellent! Kadayifi Nuts: Lots of those thin pastry noodles so it's almost like a soppy nest on the bottom. A bunch of pistachios on top for some crunch and protein. Pistachio Dolama: Like a bunch of pistachio paste merging with phyllo in a wet pasty roll. Not as much texture contrast as everything else, but tasty. Cheesy Pistachio Shell: It looked like kinda like a baklava, but underneath the phyllo and the pistachio mince was this interesting cheese ball. Almost like a pearl instead an oyster, a great surprise! Probably my second favorite item. Purple Baklava: Like a regular baklava, but purple. Couldn't tell if it was meant to be lavender or ube or just food coloring. Looked cool, but tasted normal. Burma Baklava: Perfect for nut lovers. A tight wrap of pistachios inside a ring of tight phyllo wrap. Almost looks like baklava sushi.
